Cancer concerns: Great response by Dr. McGee. Are you at risk for a specific type of cancer? If yes, educate yourself about it. Invest in your health by doing things which are generally health enhancing. Talk with your physician about specific recommendations that you learn about as you explore any health conditions that you may have.
